Feeder have announced Sydney and Melbourne sideshows on the eve of their arrival to open the main stage at the 2011 Soundwave Festival.

They will be playing with MXPX and The Ataris in Sydney, and with Social Distortion and The Gaslight Anthem at their Sold Out Melbourne sideshow.

Over 17 years Feeder have tallied up a total of 25 top 40 hit singles, plus appearances in single and album charts in three separate decades (the 1990’s, the 2000’s and the 2010’s). Worldwide, they have amassed over 4.5 million album sales. This includes a double platinum ‘Singles Collection’ in 2006, two platinum UK albums, 2 gold UK albums and a swag of awards to boot. From band member deaths to label collapses, they have weathered the sort of ups and downs that often destroy lesser bands yet, crucially, have continued to forge their own path regardless of passing scenes or fads, building a loyal and startlingly diverse audience along the way. Tracks like ‘Just The Way I’m Feeling’, ‘Buck Rodgers’‘Feeling A Moment’ and ‘Lost and Found’ are just some of their 25 chart hits.
